CREIGHTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 14

SUPPORT STAFF CONTRACTS

AND COMPENSATION

Support staff members are all employees of the District who are not required by state law or by a District policy, regulation, or job description to possess teaching certificates from the Arizona Department of Education for the purpose of performing their jobs, unless they are expressly designated as professional staff members in notices of employment or contracts executed by the Governing Board.

Employment Status

All support personnel are either term employees or at-will employees of the District.

Term employee:

A term employee is a support staff member who is employed by the District pursuant to a written contract that specifies the duration of the employment contract, which shall not exceed one (1) year. All support staff members who are not term employees are at-

will employees.

At-will employee:

An at-will employee is a support staff member who is employed by the District for no specific term and who has no right of continued employment. The employment of an at-will employee may be terminated by action of the Governing Board without advance notice. No employee or Governing Board member shall have the authority to make any agreement or contract to the contrary or any agreement with an at-will employee for any specified period of time. No District policy or regulation or item within the District's handbook is intended to - and shall not operate to - create any property or contract rights inconsistent with the at-will employment status of support staff members.

Compensation

The Board will determine salaries and benefits of support staff employees, differentiated on the basis of duties and responsibilities. Every fiscal year, each School District employee will be provided a total compensation statement that is broken down by category of benefit or payment and that includes, for that employee, at least all of the following:

A. Base salary and any additional pay.

B. Medical benefits and the value of any employer-paid portions of insurance plan

premiums.

C. Retirement benefit plans, including social security.

D. Legally required benefits.

E. Any paid leave.

F. Any other payment made to or on behalf of the employee.

G. Any other benefit provided to the employee.
